You were being "sincere", but not about burying the hatchet. I'll let the people decide who was being sincere and who wasn't.

Good Night.


The Fours is strong within me tonight.

And Ann Coulter is having a good run too!


Nite, Nite... Blondie...



(hey... I tried... and you see what the result was...)

@ Beets...
I offered you a branch and you proceeded to kick it in the dirt... every one here sees that...
If you want a peace, it's on you...
( oh... and while it might stroke your ego somewhat to refer to me as a troll, participants that have been around since the classic days know you're fudging it...)

First, atop the 1,097 graduating class of NYPD 2007! Way to go, Cheryl!

I guess. Though somebody didn't get to go to Harvard because Cheryl picked a job that you hardly even need an associates degree for. I wouldn't think she had any trouble at all with the course work.

That's an interesting point, but consider this, just as a possibility. Balance her Harvard degree against not a patrolman's job, but against the post of Chief of Police for New York City. Then it starts to make sense: an NYPD Police Chief with a Harvard degree. Now, you could still say she's overqualified educationally, but on the other hand, wouldn't that perhaps be a real boon to policing in America? Criminal investigation is becoming ever so more complex. I think that would be a good thing.

Also, bear in mind that she beat out hundreds of males on the physical fitness side, too. That's an important aspect of the Police Academy's curriculum and an athletic achievement in itself.

Maybe. It's still hideous overkill. I wouldn't think A) She'll last that long being underpaid and overworked, an B) politics and unions are what they are, Harvard degree or not. You might be right, but it's *really* attenuated and years down the line.

I would bet that NYPD physical standards differ for males and females, just like in the Army. Not really any real comparison there.

Heyas, Fuzzy!

I think they've been relying on Tim Henman to often, and for too long. He's getting old for the game. They should start fresh with younger players to groom them to make it to the top.

Sometimes it had looked like they had given him a wildcard, other times he has played a decent play, but he had never made it to a winning position. His play is very bland, nothing to write home about.

Besides the Le Mans race I also always watch Wimbledon tennis every year...

This just in...
